The panda's paw is surprisingly un-bear-like, too. It's flexible, with an enlarged wrist bone which allows it to grasp and manoeuvre the bamboo with a dexterity and precision that a monkey would be proud of. Twisting the bamboo leaves into a cigar shape makes them easier to munch. Hungry pandas once roamed across vast tracts of bamboo-rich forest that covered much of China's heartland.


熊猫的爪子也与熊爪有很大的不同。它的爪子很灵活，腕骨很大，能准确地抓住并灵活地控制竹子，令猴子都羡慕。把竹叶弄成雪茄形状，便于它们咀嚼。饥饿的熊猫曾流浪在，广阔丰饶的竹林当中，这些竹林曾覆盖中国的中心地带。
